Your results look pretty great @digi23! Excited to see your future progress! As I'm considering Dr. Yaman for my HT, I have a few quick questions for the community. I noticed that, apart from Bicer, he's the only Turkey-based surgeon on HairRestorationNetwork's list. I was wondering if there's any particular reason why he's there and doctors like Pekiner and HLC are not. From what I understand, it's important to have the doctor do the graft extraction and the incisions and if I understand correctly, Dr. Yaman only supervises all steps, but doesn't do them on his own. Isn't that a red flag? I also noticed 2 double grafts on digi23's hairline - might be completely wrong, but I think I read somewhere that you should only use single grafts there. (digi, your hairline still looks really, really natural!)

Hey all, I'll have a HT consultation with Dr. Bicer this week. Apart from what's already been discussed here, what would be some good questions to ask her? For context, I'm a female and I'm considering an FUT.

I'm from Bulgaria and I would definitely prefer doing the procedure close to home, but there are not a lot of options here and it's hard to find genuine reviews. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check De Freitas!

Hey y'all! I'm a 28-years-old female and I'm looking into a hair transplant in the frontal hair line. I'm still really early in the research process and I have a few questions: What would be your top 3 recommendations for clinics/doctors based in Europe? I prefer Turkey since it's more affordable and pretty close to where I currently live, but I've read enough to understand that doing your HT in Turkey could be quite risky, so I'm definitely open to other European options as well. I read good reviews about Dr. Bicer here on the forum, but I'm wondering if she has enough experience with female HT - I found 1 post here and just one example on her website. What should I be wary of when looking into different clinics? Are there any specific "quality signals" I should be looking for (i.e. having 1 or just a couple of patients per day; the doctor doing the procedure themselves, etc)? Any thoughts about FUT vs. FUE? My hair is rather thin and I don't think I'll feel comfortable getting a decent part of my donor area hair getting shaved. I have long hair and I don't mind having a small scar in the donor area from FUT, but from what I understand, the healing process in that case is longer and more painful. While I can deal with the pain, I'm hoping to be able to go back to work (home office) after a week. Are there any specific resources (articles/videos) you would recommend for someone who's in the beginning of the research process?
